Tax Returns

Senator Harry Reid is still claiming that Mitt Romney has not paid taxes for ten years.  He says he has a credible source, an investor from Bain Capital.  I have some questions.  First, how would a Bain investor or even and employee know whether or not Romney had filed taxes?  The only people who should know are the Romney's, their accountant, and the IRS.  Second, why doesn't Senator Reid put this investor in touch with the IRS?  I'm sure the IRS would be eager to audit a multi-millionaire who didn't pay taxes for ten years.  If he did skip paying taxes for 10 years, how did they miss that?  Senator Reid has inadvertently made an argument for getting rid of an apparently incompetent agency that didn't notice the long gap in tax returns.

Since we are on the topic of releasing tax returns, word is out that Harry Reid became a multi-millionaire through shady land deals in Nevada while he has been Senator.  Clearly, Senator Reid needs to answer this rumor.  He has not released ANY tax returns.
